Burying the money
Comments (61)What Outside is describing will happen to anyone who begins Medicare coverage before starting Social Security. For those not getting some kind of government pension, Medicare has to be paid in advance, quarterly. So thinking of calendar quarters, imagine you paid in Dec-Jan for the Jan-March coverage period. Your Social Security benefits, from which Medicare is always deducted, start for the month of February and so February and March Medicare premiums have been paid twice. Medicare refunds the overpayment promptly. There's no bonus, a double payment gets refunded....See MoreHow Many Are Burying Money on New Year's Eve?
Comments (40)I haven't buried mine yet. I need to put a piece of flag stone over the top of it. The soil is so sandy here, the dogs can easily dig it up. Plus if I touch something, that is something they seem to automatically want. I really had to laugh the other day. I walked out in the hay field which is on the far side of this place. I walked around it to look at some tree that was on the edge of the forest. We back up to the Davy Crockett National forest. The dogs went with me. One dog, Scout, went off on her own. When I got back to the barn, I saw Scout zig zagging all over....following the path I had walked. Nose to the ground. She was tracking me. If she had looked up, she could have seen me. Makes you appreciate what a great nose dogs have. A little unnerving that a dog could smell me like that. :)...See MoreBury the money!
Comments (37)I hope this does not portend disaster....I buried 2 cents in a pot of plants in front of my apt. When I went to dig them up, I could only find 1 cent. And a buried pecan. I suspect a squirrel might have buried the pecan, it is a really large pot, but why would he dig up a penny? I'm hoping that Those In Charge of Good Luck will decide to grant both me and the squirrel a good year....See MoreRemember to Bury your Money!!
Comments (51)Will pouring hot water help pudgeder? DH and I were talking when it was rabbit rabbit time so I flubbed that. Also I forgot to say I am burying my misfortune. Hopefully when I go out soon and say I am digging up my fortune it will counter the whole getting rid of my misfortune mistake. Maybe when I dig up the coins I will say I buried my misfortune and it has turned into a fortune. Who knows it could be a whole new lucky tradition :-). Joyful I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a secret or not. I would say just bury some money in a bag under the snow or in a flower pot outside and give it to somebody who's needy. That's what I do when I remember to do everything right....See More
